  • OceanicBouquet Ocean 🌊 (@OceanicBouquet) reported

    @CableOW Yeah, they're really really bad not only at player and coach analysis but also can't diagnose issues for **** and their prescriptions are bad too. Pretty much all the overwatch subreddits were doomed

  • Idobevibintho1 Florida Mayhem Stan (@Idobevibintho1) reported

    @Froppy_ow I love scrimming. Just wish I had a computer that could run Overwatch without lagging :)

  • TechVolt717 Jed717 (@TechVolt717) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Pro tip: if someone tries to tell you that an answer to a complex problem is simple, they’re wrong or trying to sell you an idea. Lol. Just like Overwatch’s problems!

  • Doomaknight1 Yopi (@Doomaknight1) reported

    My overwatch is broken and I cant hear a damn thing people say in chat

  • GeneralMagik Magik (@GeneralMagik) reported

    The problem with Overwatch isn't that the metas are all dog, it's that the community hates every meta no matter what.

  • PantahOW Pantah (@PantahOW) reported

    I really just want to feel what 2017 Overwatch / OW League made me feel 😔 Just fix the game

  • AngelicKittu ⎝⎠╲╱╲╱⎝⎠ (@AngelicKittu) reported

    Wanted to go to bed but queued overwatch instead... I have a problem.

  • casperreuterlov Casper Reuterlöv (@casperreuterlov) reported

    @kenilism @CSGO Two days ago I played a match against a hacker lobby with 3 spinbotters. and one guy on my team also was cheating. And he said that currently overwatch is broken for prime mm. Im ge with 6k hours and I’ve had my account since 2015

  • OmgIts_Zap Zap (@OmgIts_Zap) reported

    @BlizzardCS did the servers crash because me and half my overwatch team got kicked out and suspended

  • The_Only_Cross Relic (@The_Only_Cross) reported

    @KheZu They need either an overwatch system or valve employees hired to review reports, and take away the right to report from people consistently reporting falsely, so only players who issue real reports will be heard.

  • luxbingo pebo (@luxbingo) reported

    Also overwatch please fix EU servers I don’t wanna be in queue for 3 hours fix em :)

  • Kabista_ michael (@Kabista_) reported

    i could play overwatch right now and get coffee later to power through the day and fix my sleep schedule

  • Ch1ldishBino ChildishBino (@Ch1ldishBino) reported

    I wanna hold a PS4 Overwatch tournament with a cash prize but the biggest problems im having so far is trying to figure out how to not get a bunch of keyboard n mouse players and getting ppl involved and organized🤔

  • MunchingCarrot MunchingCarrot (@MunchingCarrot) reported

    I really watched 4 hours of overwatch until 4 am last night, woke up at 8 am and am now halfway through my work shift, only to to do it again so I can fix my sleep schedule before Spring classes start. Bro this game is a drug and I'm addicted.

  • _Mercymainbtw Professional E-Thot💫 (@_Mercymainbtw) reported

    Haven’t played overwatch in a week and all my problems went away🥰

  • TheCoolestAmp coolamp (@TheCoolestAmp) reported

    @OneRandomFrost that creates another problem: certain sensetivities are just inviable for some games. the lowest EDPI (DPI*ingame) used in csgo by top players is ~480, whereas the highest is 2.4k. in overwatch the lowest is ~500 but the highest is far higher. below 500 just isn't good

  • CaylePolin 🌊🐚🌴Bastard Merman🌴🐚🌊 (@CaylePolin) reported

    @PersonaStruggle uhhhhhh Dead Space franchise Terraria Minecraft Sims franchise Ratchet and Clank Overwatch Starbound Crash Bandicoot Sonic Mario i'm sure there's others but I'm wrackin my brain to remember the rest tbh

  • mfcharliee ??? (@mfcharliee) reported

    yall out there dressed like Overwatch DPS characters have issues

  • robindertrollv2 realrob (@robindertrollv2) reported

    @Jay3OW @SamitoFPS @SamitoFPS damn you know you’re in trouble when both your supp and tank are higher than your dps. Okay im sorry. You’ll get back up! I believe in you. We all know how good you are and I dont think there’s a single person who believes more in overwatch than you. You got this <33

  • suskittys skyler ♡ (@suskittys) reported

    @ignsuburban i lose a valorant game aafter almost 1v5ing to clutch and then i queue 15 minutes of overwatch on a fresh account right out of placements for my pc to crash as soon as i get a game im gonna off myself

  • baggyscraggy Banana Man (@baggyscraggy) reported

    I think I got too sucked into those games like Destiny, Overwatch, and all those other live service games/comp games. But they really pull a lot of your time, and while I still enjoy those games I've been trying to push myself away from them a bit.

  • XxIncarnatexX Celestial Chimera (@XxIncarnatexX) reported

    Well you guys finally got what you wanted, I'm quitting cgl as my xbox motor is broken and I can't use my disc tray, I have the disc version of overwatch, so unless someone wants to gameshare overwatch with me I'm ****** until March

  • WedgieTraining 👁👄👁 (@WedgieTraining) reported

    My issue with people saying they forced Solider:76 to be gay is that we shouldn’t see it as “made him gay”, but that he is. I know it’s been said, but if Vincent was a girl they didn’t “make him straight” why can’t it just “have always been”. #overwatch

  • Call_me_Jags Jags (@Call_me_Jags) reported

    @_JMJoe_ The lack of long lasting cores of team, there are long lasting orgs in the scene but even with those orgs they suffer from the same issue of teams being shuffled at every chance they get pretty much which leads to less time to improve synergy and lower quality of overwatch

  • Cool_Kat122 Alice Hanson (@Cool_Kat122) reported

    @SuperButterBuns Well it was Overwatch and Apex, but then my dad changed Internet providers and now, they lag so darn much, so now it's DBD since that's the only online game that doesn't lag as much.

  • Ninjabeck1 NinjaBeck (@Ninjabeck1) reported

    Holy ****, overwatch is still smurfs on broken heroes and retarded players huh

  • luxbingo pebo (@luxbingo) reported

    Overwatch fix EU servers I hate being in queue for an hour

  • RBerninzoni Rocco Berninzoni (@RBerninzoni) reported

    @OverwatchRU hey overwatch there a bug or problem with you game

  • traviscastaway Travis Waters (@traviscastaway) reported

    @KheZu Im sick and tired of seeing my ranked games destroyed by this. I play in 6.8-8k avg games over the past few months and it never changes. They know they won't get in trouble. I think an overwatch system needs to be implemented ASAP. I'll happily ban these ****** scum.

  • lancerxiao em ♡ (@lancerxiao) reported

    @gecknoes i have 4 years of ps4 overwatch experience so its not too much of an issue for me but yeah..... console fps is always kindve a joke if you're not used to it😭😭
